“You can go a long way with a smile. You can go a lot farther with a smile and a gun.” ~Al Capone

I hate pictures of myself. Maybe it’s because I need want braces and a boob job. (There’s my birthday list, honey…) But, for the last Be Happy Challenge post for June, here’s my favorite pic of me smiling.

This was taken at my little sister’s wedding. I love this picture because I actually have a real smile on my face! I’m infamous for my “fake” photo smiles… You know – the ones where someone with a camera says, “Smile!,” so you paste a quick smile on your face, and then as soon as they’re finished taking the pic, you wipe it off really quickly? Yeah, that one. Well this is a real smile! I’m so happy for my sister and new brother, and this day was a happy one in the midst of several darker ones for me.
